Coal train stopped.

No Coal | 13.06.2008 09:37 | Ecology

A coal train heading for Drax has apparently been stopped and occupied.

The action is preventing the trains 1000 tonne load of coal from reaching its destination, the furnaces of the massively CO2 producing Drax power station and will undoubtedly cause disruption throughout the coal supply chain.

More reports to follow.
